Are you seeing the problem in your arguement? Fast cars kill ALOT more people IN ONE DAMN DAY than all illegal machine guns have since 1933.

30,000 deaths a year from automobiles. 11,000 deaths a year from firearms.

How many cars are driven every day? How many guns are fired every day?

The ratio of gun deaths to guns fired is hundreds(if not thousands) of times higher than the ratio of car miles driven to car deaths.

Not a good comparison.

How many guns are fired every day? I try to fire at least one of mine multiple times every day, but that is the advantage to living on a firing range.

He was talking about MGs in particular. About 100 victims per day for cars, about 2 for legal MGs in the last 75 years.
